going to the everglades next week. plan on getting a couple dozen shiners for back-up. what's the best hook to use? cicle, straight shank, khale? taking big worms,frogs, senkos, jerk baits and lipless cranks for starters. should i feel bad if i catch a trophy on live bait?

Id go with the circle hooks, and jumbo Shiners. Theres no shame in catching a trophy with live bait.

should i feel bad if i catch a trophy on live bait?

I don't feel bad...

Kahle style hooks for me and if glades fishing you may want the ones with weed guards.

6" shiners and a wide gap Gamu heavy guage

circle hooks land fish but its more fun for me to set the hook
